Going on in Kent

I ran Medway every morning for a month. Got pulled uphill by a dog, lost a coffee to the Cheese Room, and nearly got wiped out on the M2 bridge. This isn't a running guide. It’s a chaos log. Read it: goingoninmedway.co.uk/2025/month-run…

If you had to describe #Medway in three words, what would they be?

Medway: love it, hate it, or survive it. From dodging mobility scooters on Rochester High Street to spotting floating Greggs bags on the river, here’s the ultimate bucket list of 50 chaotic, quirky must-dos. How many have you ticked off?

Why Medway Is Secretly Better Than London 1/ #London may have its shiny skyline and overpriced oat lattes, but #Medway quietly outshines it with half the stress and double the character. Here’s why #Kent’s underdog is secretly the better choice (don’t tell too many people).

Today is Medway Pride. At the Cathedral we believe in a church that welcomes & serves, celebrates & affirms all people; & doesn't discriminate on the basis of disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or sexuality. rochestercathedral.org/articles/2022/…
